Bail again denied in Mumbai terror case

Associated Press - March 10, 2010 1:34 PM ET

CHICAGO (AP) - A federal judge has turned down a request for release from 1 of 2 men jailed in Chicago in connection with a deadly terrorist rampage in the Indian city of Mumbai.

Tahawwur Rana (tuh-HOW'-ur RAH'-nah) has been held in the Metropolitan Correctional Center since his October arrest and has repeatedly been turned down in requests for bail.

His latest request was denied Wednesday in a one-sentence order from federal Judge Harry Leinenweber (LY'-nuhn-web-ur) that included no explanation.

Rana and David Coleman Headley are charged with scouting Mumbai in a prelude to the November 2008 terrorist rampage that left 166 people dead. They're also charged in an alleged plot to kill a Danish cartoonist.

Both men have pleaded not guilty.
